News: Oscars 200678th Academy Awards Nominations Announced
Brokeback Mountain dominates Oscar nominations |
The nominations for the 78th Academy Awards are in and with a couple of notable exceptions there aren’t too many surprises. Ang Lee’s much talked about Brokeback Mountain stormed the Golden Globes a few weeks ago and is well represented in this year’s Oscar list, being nominated for eight different awards including Best Picture and Best Director. George Clooney’s second feature as director, Good Night and Good Luck, Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line and racism drama Crash have also been showered with nominations, with Steven Spielberg’s terrorism themed drama Munich up for both Best Picture and Best Director awards. While movie pundits were expecting these films to prove popular with the Academy there were one or two nominations that seemed to come from out of the blue. The largely unknown Terrence Howard will be competing with favourites Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) for the Best Actor Oscar for his role in low-key music industry drama Hustle and Flow. Elsewhere, Keira Knightley, has been nominated as Best Actress for her role in Pride and Prejudice, a part that brought her some critical acclaim but not on the level usually associated with Oscar success. Dame Judi Dench has received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in British film Mrs Henderson Presents although she’ll be facing stiff competition from co-nominee Amy Adams whose stellar performance in family drama Junebug has her hotly tipped as this year’s winner. Dame Judi reacted to the nomination saying "It's absolutely wonderful! I'm absolutely thrilled! I'm so happy to be nominated for something I loved filming every single day." The 78th Academy Awards will be held on March 5. The main nominations are as follows: Best Picture Best Actor Best Actress Best Supporting Actress Best Supporting Actor Best Director Best Original Screenplay Best Adapted Screenplay Best Foreign Film Best Documentary Feature Best Animated Picture For a full list of nominations and the latest news about the 2006 Academy Awards, check the official Oscars website |
